Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

^Just, Wow

Buys 10k bike for the aeros, sits upright.

It's easy to mock (especially triathlengers), but some people simply can't get into an aero position. Are you saying they shouldn't be allowed to buy nice stuff until they have at least one Scoblebrick from saddle to elbow cups?

regardless the stem is enough to send it this way.

Oh I totally agree - there may well be a back injury or something that is the cause for this set-up, and certainly anyone can buy anything they like. This is the anti thread however, and regardless of the cause - that biek is rank to the power max!

Meh. It's a stem swap away from OK. I think the AntiPorn tag should be reserved for bikes where the owner has gone out of their way to try to make something good, and it has ended in disaster. The only thing the owner of that P5 has done 'wrong' is to make it fit him.

I don't get it, some people always remove the saddle or push it in more to make it easier to fit in the car...

A few years ago I photographed the holy grail of anti-porn at my LBS...

Stabs you in the eye whichever way you fancy.

stunning.

You cannot be serious!

I think we can close the thread

Jesus Christ. The pinnacle right there.

That's just incredible. Like someone covered a shitty old frame in glue and threw it through a high-end bike shop.

Re. the P5 up there - the whole entire point of that bike is aero. Everything about it is aero. If you can't get aero, you can't ride it. Back surgery must be cheaper and less painful anyway.

do u even RAAM

Wood effect bottle cages. Yummy.

If you can't get aero, you can't ride it.

If my 85 year old dad was reading this, he'd tell you to fuck off. Whether it's age, congenital disability or accident damage that limits people, they still have the right to ride the fastest kit they want. Are you suggesting that wheelchair racers should get rid of their disc wheels too?

The ironman seatpost sticker hints that this rider isnt an out-n-out TT'r, and that they are planning to spend a lot of time in the saddle, at endurance pace, while fecked from swimming.

So the position itself is pretty standard. Just took some ugly front end set-up to get there.

As for running kit you cant justify With performance. I ride sportives at standard MAMIL pace wearing a air attack helmet With the mirrored visor fitted. So I'm very much in a glass house on that one.

Anti for days, with some old favourites in there and some new ones. I like the diamond headbadge already on one bike...

Horrendous cut-off chode bars, spaghetti cranks, no food retention, NO BRAKES, double saddle, inexplicable carbon rim... Where to start?

Clearly to some peoples' taste though as the vultures have been at it...

You mean it made you puke?

Same could be said for this

There's more wrong with that, such as seatpost well past safety mark and either the wrong bars or the wrong brakes.
